Magician Swanley
Close-up magic for weddings, corporate events and private parties in Swanley, just down the road from Pete's Orpington base.
About Magician Swanley
Swanley is one of the closest towns to Pete’s Orpington base, which makes it an easy, affordable booking whatever the occasion – a work Christmas party at The Clockhouse Pavilion, a 40th birthday at The Cotton Mill Micropub, or a wedding or private celebration anywhere in between. Genuinely local entertainment, not a magician driving in from across London.
Close-up magic works well for exactly this kind of event – small enough to feel personal, sociable enough that everyone’s mixing and ready to be entertained. Pete moves between guests rather than performing from the front, so the magic happens right in front of you, not at a distance.
Why Swanley Hosts Book Pete
- Based just up the road in Orpington – minimal travel time
- Suited to pubs, function rooms and private parties alike
- Interactive, close-up style that works for any size of gathering
What Affects the Cost
There is no single price, and anyone quoting one before they know your details is guessing. Three things move it more than anything else:
- How long you need, and which part of the event you want covered.
- Guest numbers. Past roughly 150 guests it is worth discussing a longer booking or a second performer.
- The date. Saturdays in summer and most of December book up first.
Swanley is one of the closest towns to Pete's Orpington base, so no travel charge applies. There is a fuller breakdown in the guide to what a magician costs in the UK.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I am based in Orpington, Greater London, UK, but regularly perform at high-profile events nationwide and internationally - including regularly across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Most bookings run one to two hours of mixed-and-mingled close-up magic, though I offer flexible packages from a short 45-minute slot up to a full day's entertainment - whatever suits your event.
The Magic Circle is Britain's most respected society for magicians, founded in 1905. It isn't a membership you can simply pay for - every applicant has to pass a formal examination (or submit a thesis) in front of a panel of existing members, demonstrating real skill and knowledge of the craft, before being admitted. I've been a Member since 2016.
No - Swanley is one of the closest towns to my Orpington base, so there's no travel fee.
All of them - I've performed at pub function rooms, work Christmas parties and private celebrations across Swanley.
Yes - pub function rooms are one of the most common settings for this. I have worked The Clockhouse Pavilion and The Cotton Mill Micropub locally. No stage or equipment is needed, so almost any room works.
